2008 Pesticide Registrations
Movento (spirotetramat) - Insecticide (group

(This is a summary, please see the
product label and supplemental label for more details)
Movento
Pests Controlled: Aphids, citrus thrips, California red scale
Dosage: 8-10 oz formulated
product/acre.
Method of Application:
For aphids and citrus thrips use the low rate and 100 gpa. For

effective for California red scale when applied at citrus thrips treatment
timing (petal fall) and when targeting this scale should be used prior to the
2nd or 3rd generation of crawler activity. Movento must be tank-mixed with
a spray adjuvant with spreading and penetrating properties to maximize leaf
uptake and systemic action. Allow
21 days between applications with a maximum of 20 oz per season.
Timing of application: Early stages of pest activity, to allow time for
systemic movement of the chemical within the plant.

2001 Pesticide Registrations
(Admire, Provado, and Danitol)
Admire (Imidacloprid) - neonicotinoid (group 4)
(This is a summary,
please see the product label and supplemental label for more details)
Admire 2 Flowable
Pests Controlled: California red scale, glassy-winged sharpshooter
Dosage: 32 fluid
ounces of product (0.5 lb ai) per acre. Do not apply more than 1 quart of product
per acre per year.
Method of Application:
For optimum uptake of Admire 2 Flowable, apply to trees either newly planted or trees
previously trained to drip / microsprinkler / low pressure irrigation. Emitters must
provide even, uniform distribution of water. Soil should be lightly prewetted
(several hours) to break soil
surface tension prior to application of Admire 2 Flowable. Once the irrigation system reaches
operating pressure, the Admire 2 Flowable solution should be injected into the system over
a calculated time interval (generally 2 hours) to allow uniform distribution throughout the system. The
use of a dye marker in the solution is recommended to determine when lines are clear of
Admire 2 Flowable. Once the solution has cleared all irrigation lines and emitters,
continue irrigation to move the insecticide to the active root zone but do not over
irrigate or cause runoff. Wait 24 hours before subsequent irrigations.
Timing of
application:
California red scale: apply to the soil
during May-July. Uptake is poor during winter months and because of bee
toxicity Admire can not be applied during bloom (April).
Glassy-winged sharpshooter: Apply in citrus
orchards May-July. Admire will take 3-4 weeks to begin to kill the
sharpshooter nymphs and adults.
PHI: 24 hours
REI: 24 hours
Provado (Imidacloprid) - neonicotinoid (group 4)

Dosage: 10-20 fluid
ounces of product (0.125-.25 lb ai) per acre. Do not apply more than 20 oz
of product
per acre per year.
Method of Application:
Apply as a foliar treatment in sufficient water (250-500 gal/acre) to cover citrus where citricola scale is found. sufficient Timing of
application:
Citricola scale: apply to the foliage during August-September. The
higher rate (20 oz) lasts longer than the lower rate and works better against a
heavy infestation.
PHI:

(This is a summary,
please see the product label for more details)

ounces of product (0.4 lb ai) per acre. Do not apply more than 21-1/3 oz of product
per acre per year.
Method of Application:
Apply with airblast equipment as concnetrate of dilute spray to give outside
coverage (50-200 gal/acre). Use only on citrus trees 3 years or
older. To reduce the potential for resistance, only one pyrethroid should
be applied per year. Do not apply in the vicinity of aquatic
areas.
Timing of
application:
Glassy-winged sharpshooter: Apply when pest activity is noted.
Citrus thrips: Apply
when immature thrips activity on fruit is noted.
